The award-winning documentaryExhaling Musictells of Beppe's intense and life-threatening breach with religion when he was 17. His childhood religion could never follow him into adulthood. Having no specific political preferences, Beppe has nevertheless always felt an esteem for individual freedom permeating all his art. Hence, Beppe is constantly dreaming of a world without religion and state suppression.

Beppe is composer, scriptwriter, director and producer for the music and art film production Symbiophonies, having directed the films Montagna con Forza and Vicino alla Montagna.

— I call the art I make "fingerprints", because they do represent my musical or artistic version of the impressions I have inhaled. I see these fingerprints as my lifesavers because they help me articulate what I experience, and they relieve some of my inner pressure. These musical fingerprints are also based on my underlying wish for universal and personal freedom for every living creature on this earth.
